The paper classifies Poincaré complexes as topological manifolds.

In this paper, using exclusively homotopy theoretical methods, we study degrees of maps between $(n-2)$-connected $(2n-1)$-dimensional Poincar\' e complexes which have torsion free integral homology. Necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions for the existence of map degrees between such Poincar\' e complexes are es…

Enhanced loop space decomposition for specific Poincaré complexes.

We show that the Spivak normal fibration of an orientable 4-dimensional Poincaré complex has a vector bundle reduction.

The paper develops residue currents for cohesive modules and proves a generalized Poincaré-Lelong formula.

We consider two types of minimal Poincaré $4$-complexes. One is defined with respect to the degree $1$-map order. This idea was already present in our previous papers, and more systematically studied later by Hillman. The second type of minimal Poincaré $4$-complexes were introduced by Hambleton, Kreck and Teichner. It…

Contradicts claims about Poincaré complexes and homology manifolds.

For two complex vector bundles admitting a homomorphism with isolated singularities between them, we establish a Poincaré-Hopf type formula for the difference of the Chern character numbers of these two vector bundles. As a consequence, we extend the original Poincaré-Hopf index formula to the case of complex vector fi…

New proof of chain duality for simplicial complexes.

We construct periodic families of Poincare complexes, partially solving a question of Hodgson that was posed in the proceedings of the 1982 Northwestern homotopy theory conference. We also construct infinite families of Poincare complexes whose top cell falls off after one suspension but which fail to embed in a sphere…

The author connects Poincaré embeddings to Reidemeister traces and diagonal maps.

Establishes Poincaré's lemma for formal manifolds.

In this note, we fill in a gap in the literature by proving that the Teichmueller modular groups (mapping class groups) are not Poincare duality groups and the complexes of curves of surfaces have infinite homotopy type (i.e. are not homotopy equivalent to a finite CW-complex).

We state and prove a generalization of the Poincaré-Hopf index theorem for manifolds with boundary. We then apply this result to non-vanishing complex vector fields.

Introduces Epstein-Poincaré surfaces for G-oper, generalizing classical construction.

Explains complex analytic invariants of vector fields and foliations.

In this paper, we studied integrals involving both real and complex Hessian operators over bounded domain. Poincare type inequalities were proved in both cases which generalized a early results of Trudinger and Wang.

We develop a general theory for the existence of extremal Kähler metrics of Poincaré type in the sense of Auvray, defined on the complement of a toric divisor of a polarized toric variety. In the case when the divisor is smooth, we obtain a list of necessary conditions which must be satisfied for such a metric to exist…

Establishing criteria for top cell inertness in complexes.

Geometrically proves twisted Poincaré duality for orientable Poisson manifolds.

The primary purpose of this paper concerns the relation of (compact) generalized manifolds to finite Poincaré duality complexes (PD complexes). The problem is that an arbitrary generalized manifold $X$ is always an ENR space, but it is not necessarily a complex. Moreover, finite PD complexes require the Poincaré dualit…

A Poincaré-Hopf Theorem for line fields with point singularities on orientable surfaces can be found Hopf's 1956 Lecture Notes on Differential Geometry. In 1955 Markus presented such a theorem in all dimensions, but Markus' statement only holds in even dimensions $2k \geq 4$. In 1984 Jänich presented a Poincaré-Hopf th…

4-manifolds with specific groups have unique homotopy types.

Cohomological and homological spectral sequences are shown to be isomorphic.

Poincar{é} and Sobolev inequalities for differential forms on Heisenberg balls, involving Rumin's differentials, are given. Furthermore, a global homotopy of Rumin's complex which improves differentiability of Rumin forms is provided on any bounded geometry contact manifold.

We first study holomorphic isometries from the Poincaré disk into the product of the unit disk and the complex unit $n$-ball for $n\ge 2$. On the other hand, we observe that there exists a holomorphic isometry from the product of the unit disk and the complex unit $n$-ball into any irreducible bounded symmetric domain …

Study of Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra on Poisson manifolds with diagonalizable modular symmetry.

Automorphic forms on a bounded symmetric domain D=G/K can be viewed as holomorphic sections of $L^{\otimes k}$, where L is a quantizing line bundle on a compact quotient of D and k is a positive integer. Let $Γ$ be a cocompact discrete subgroup of SU(n,1) which acts freely on SU(n,1)/U(n). We suggest a construction of …

We exhibit an explicit one-parameter smooth family of Poincaré-Einstein metrics on the even-dimensional unit ball whose conformal infinities are the Berger spheres. Our construction is based on a Gibbons-Hawking-type ansätz of Page and Pope. The family contains the hyperbolic metric, converges to the complex hyperbolic…

We treat the Witten operator on the de Rham complex with semiclassical heat kernel methods to derive the Poincaré-Hopf theorem and degenerate generalizations of it. Thereby, we see how the semiclassical asymptotics of the Witten heat kernel are related to approaches using the Thom form of Mathai and Quillen.

For G an almost-connected Lie group, we study G-equivariant index theory for proper co-compact actions with various applications, including obstructions to and existence of G-invariant Riemannian metrics of positive scalar curvature. We prove a rigidity result for almost-complex manifolds, generalising Hattori's result…

Study Bergman kernels on complex hyperbolic cusps, generalizing previous results.

Starting from the four normed division algebras - the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions - a systematic procedure gives a 3-cocycle on the Poincare Lie superalgebra in dimensions 3, 4, 6 and 10. A related procedure gives a 4-cocycle on the Poincare Lie superalgebra in dimensions 4, 5, 7 and 11. In…

This paper is an introduction to the use of the cobordism of chain complexes with Poincaré duality in surgery theory. It is a companion to the author's paper "An introduction to algebraic surgery" math.AT/0008071 (to appear in Volume 2 of Surveys in Surgery Theory, Ann. of Maths. Studies, Princeton, 2001) which is an i…

Estimates covariance matrices using Markov chain Monte Carlo with improved sample complexity.

On a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, the absolute and relative cohomology groups appear as certain subspaces of harmonic forms. DeTurck and Gluck showed that these concrete realizations of the cohomology groups decompose into orthogonal subspaces corresponding to cohomology coming from the interior and bound…

For two complex vector bundles admitting a homomorphism between them, a Poincaré-Hopf formula for the difference of the Chern character numbers of these two vector bundles with isolated singularities is established by Huitao Feng, Weiping Li and Weiping Zhang. This article extend their reslut about Poincaré-Hopf type f…

Study shows how lengths of geodesic arcs determine linking number of Legendrian knots.

We study discrete group actions on coarse Poincare duality spaces, e.g. acyclic simplicial complexes which admit free cocompact group actions by Poincare duality groups. When G is an (n-1) dimensional duality group and X is a coarse Poincare duality space of formal dimension n, then a free simplicial action of G on X d…

In this survey, we remind some fibrations structure theorems (also called Milnor's fibrations) recently proved in the real and complex case, in the local and global settings. We give several Poincaré-Hopf type formulae which relates the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of these fibers (also called Milnor's fibers) and ind…

The paper focuses on various properties and applications of the homotopy operator, which occurs in the Poincaré lemma. In the first part, an abstract operator calculus is constructed, where the exterior derivative is an abstract derivative and the homotopy operator plays the role of an abstract integral. This operator …
